Rated 122, DARLING MALTAIX should be winning at this level soon. He only found one too good when sent off favourite at Exeter last time and gets another chance in this. The Twisler showed a big improvement to finish third at Ludlow and could go well along with Lady Wethered, who was placed here last month. Dual bumper winner King Vince will appreciate the return to a faster surface while Djin Conti looks a likely improver on only his second start in this country.
